Application filed March 20, 1905. Serial No. 251,115.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANSELM T. NYE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Marietta, in the county of WVashington, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a specification, reference be ing had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a heating-stove, and particularly to a knockdown structure adapted to be shipped in sections for more convenient and economical transportation.

The invention has for an object to provide an improved construction and arrangement of the joints between these sections by means of which an air-tight stove may be provided and a heating-drum and dome applied thereto when found convenient for use.

A further object of the invention is to provide a construction of this heating-drum and dome by which the parts may be shipped in their assembled relation and an air-tight packed joint provided between the same and the top of the stove-body when they are assembled for use.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved joint between the bodysections wherein a diagonally-disposed packing-groove lies between the faces of the adjoining sections, which are disposed in difierent horizontal planes at each side of the joint,

so as to permit the necessary lateral expansion and contraction of the stove-sections upon each other without breaking the j ointpacking.

Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a central vertical section through the stove with the heating-drum applied thereto; Fig. 2-, a detail enlarged section of the joint between the drum and stove-top; Fig. 3, a similar View of this joint at the point of application for the tierod securing the parts together; Fig. 4, a detail perspective of the lug carried by the heat ing-drum and shown in section in Fig. 2 Fig. 5, an enlarged section of the obliquelydisposed packing between the stove-sections Fig. 6, a top plan of the stove; Fig. 7, a vertical section showing the drum and dome assembled for transportation, and Fig. 8 a similar view showing the cover-plate for the stove when the drum is omitted.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures of the drawings.

The stove-body may be of any desired construction and configuration and, preferably, as here shown, is composed of the ash-box A at the base supported upon legs A and carrying at its top a fire-pot A provided with any desired form of grate A and connected to the ash-b 0X Aby means of the overlapping packed joint A as shown in Fig. 1. Thisjoint consists of the bifurcated flanges A of different lengths separated by the groove A, in whlch the packing is disposed and into which the flange A from the base extends. Upon the fire-pot A the feeder-section B is mounted by.

means of the joint shown in detail in Fig. 5,

which comprises the contact-faces A and A".

upon the fire-pot disposed in different horizontal planes and separated by the packinggroove which is disposed diagonally to the plane of its contact-faces. The feeder-section is provided with corresponding contactfaces B and B resting upon those beforementioned and. separated by a similarly-disposed packing-groove adapted to receive the packing B which may be of any desired material, preferably stove-cement, putty, or asbestos, while the feeder-section is also pro- ,vided with a depending flange 13, covering this line of jointure.

It has been found that when the packing is disposed at a right angle to the line of jointure the lateral expansion and contraction of the section of the stove due to the different temperatures maintained in the fire-pot and feeder-sections causes a cracking or breaking drum disposed upon the body portion of the of the packing, which permits the leakage of, gases from the stove and the entrance of air therein, tending to affect the draft of the stove. This is prevented by the diagonallydisposed packing, which, it will be seen, per inits the expansion and contraction of the parts without breakage, as there is a movement of the packing or the stove-sections relative to each other and not a directlateral strain across the line of j ointure. This strain is also relieved by disposing the contact-faces of the stove-sections in different horizontal planes, so that they do not at any time coincide, and the pressure at one line of jointure is taken by the opposite solid wall, while a proper movement of the sections rela tive to the packing is permitted. The

feeder-section 'B is also provided with the usual door and at its upper portion wlth a flange B disposed in a horizontal plane and provided at its inner edge with a seat B disposed adjacent to a vertically-extending rib the heating-drum, as shown in Fig. 8, or to receive the lower edge of this drum D and also of the dome E within the same when the latter parts are used, as shown in Fig. 1.

In the last-mentioned arrangement of the parts the lower edge of the drum D is provided with a bolting-lug D, extending late'rally therefrom and resting upon the flange B to which it is secured by means of the ring or annulus D provided with the depending lug D and at its inner portion wlth a packing-groove D The parts are secured together by means of theretain1ngbolt D as shown in Fig. 2, and the packing D applied to form an air-tight joint between the drum and the top of the stove. At the upper portion of this drum the cap-plate C is provided and rests upon the top edge thereof, and this plate is provided with a shoulder C, disposed at one side of the packing-flange C and a depending ring C at the opposite side thereof, these parts being adapted to cooperate with the top of the stove-body when the drum is removed, as shown in Fig. 8. This" cover-plate C is secured in position in any desired manner, preferably by means of tie-rods 0*, as shown at the right of Fig. 1 and in Fig. 3, these rods being seated at their upper end in a recessed portion C of the cover-plate and extend at their lower portion through the horizontal flange B of the stove-body, beneath which the usual nut C is applied, by means of which the parts are drawn together and held in proper position upon the top of the stove when applied there. Within the drum D the dome E is supported by means of a horizon- 5 tal flange E, resting upon the rib B of the base, and a depending rib E resting upon the seat or shoulder B thereof, this dome being provided with a discharge-pipe E secured at an opening E therein by means of the overlapping joint E provided with suitable recesses to receive a cement packing be-.

tween the parts to effect an air-tight connection. The upper end of this discharge-pipe E is secured to the smoke-pipe collar 0 of the cover-plate O in any desired mannerfor instance, by means of bolts C This construction provides, for the drum and dome being secured together and supported by the top of the stove when applied for use. When removed therefrom for shipment, the securingnuts C are threaded upward upon the rods C to engage the lower edge of both the drum and dome, as shown in Fig. 7, thus preventing relative movement to these parts upon each other.

Under some conditions of use it is desirable to apply aconducting-pipe to the drum for the purpose of conducting the heat radiated therein to another apartment. This maybe accomplished by means of the apertures F, formed in this plate, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, which are each provided with a bar F, extending across the diameter thereof, said apertures being provided at their peripheries with a supporting-flange F and adapted to receive the heat-conducting pipe F (Shown in Fig. 1.) This cross-bar is provided with a central apertured portion F through which the securing-bolt F is passed for the purpose of retaining the cover F in position. This cover is formed with a depending flange F spaced from the wall of the aperture to permit the application of a packing F at that point, so as to secure an air-tight top to the drum when desired. This drum is also provided with the usual damper D for admitting air to the lower portion thereof, and when it is desired to discharge air into the room where the stove is located one or more of the covers may be removed for that purpose, thus creating a draft through the drum and around the extended radiating-surface of the dome.

It will be seen that the construction of this stove permits the four sections thereof to be separately packed for transportation and to be assembled Without skilled labor and the use of special tools, as the joints between the sections are packed, and when the drum is used it is readily applied in position by means of the rods and bolts at the proper points thereon. These rods also providemeans for retaining the drum and dome in relation to each other, so that they may be shipped in proper condition for immediate application to the stove. The stove may be used without this drum, as shown in Fig. 8, or assembled therewith, as shown in F ig. 1. As hereinbefore stated, the construction of oint between the sections of the body of the stove is important to permit the expansion and contraction of the parts relative to each other and laterally of the stove without breaking or destroying the packing at that point, while the packed joint at the upper portion of the stove is adapted to make a proper connection between either the drum and dome or the cover-plate when the latter be applied directly to the top of the stove.

It will be obvious that changes may be made in the details of construction and configuration Without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Having described my invention and set forth its merits, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
